Damian Lillard is heading up the movement to get Carmelo Anthony a farewell tour.
The Trail Blazer tweeted two hashtags on Monday: #VoteForMeloFareWellSeason and #StopPlayinMelo.
Lillard posted the tweet not long after a New York City radio station shared an interview with Anthony’s trainer, Chris Brickley, about Melo’s desire to play one more year in the NBA. In the interview, Brickley said that he’s not looking to be a star or even a starter on his next team, just an opportunity to play. Brickley referred to Dwyane Wade’s farewell season in 2018-19, which included jersey exchanges throughout the year.
The trainer also claimed that Anthony is “easily better” than 60-70 percent of current players in the league.
Melo only played 10 games last season, suiting up for the Houston Rockets before being traded and waived by the Chicago Bulls.
